Word Up

Anybody else playing Wordament? I need frenemies. I suck at it but I like it : )

If you don't know, Wordament is a word search game, played in real time against people all over the world. I have it as an app on my phone and ipad.

You have two minutes to find as many words as possible (or one long words or themed words or whatnot), then you get a minute to look over your score and stats and compare it to the other 500-1200 people playing at that time. It's frustrating and irritating and you end up yelling out stuff like "Wadlets? When in the ever loving fuck did wadlets become a word?!", and wondering how on earth other people manage to find 112 words when your finger can only go fast enough to find 20.

It' s seriously addictive. And I like to pretend it's expanding my vocabulary too.

My favourite part though is looking at other people gamertags. Most are pretty boring but then some are just..what?

vanillafrost, UnskilledTie, FrontalLion, Bum Farto, distantfungi, steffinfection, JeeringCougar, explodingduck.

Just...why?

Mine is terribly boring, alex.jane.7140. Maybe i should change it...

When he got into the car he slammed the door shut harder than necessary, the sound echoing around the parking garage like a gunshot. He was lying to Jensen.

~•~

Chris didn't feel the need to segueway into anything when he put Jensen's coffee on the table. "Dispatch got a nine-one-one call about 3am." He threw a bag of chips down, and scowled when Jensen raised an eyebrow at them. "You look like you might pass out. Just fucking eat something."

~•~

It had been years since he had been awakened by Will screaming out in the night - having to hold him, calm him, or ending up sleeping next to him the nights there was no calming him - but he was pretty sure that it was because Will had learned to be quiet, not because the nightmares had stopped.
